According to the data provided by Telegram, the Military Observer community, the militants claimed that they had shot down a certain plane over the province of Idlib. Currently there are no official confirmations of this data, however, it should be clarified that earlier both combat aircraft of the Syrian Air Force and combat aircraft of the Russian Air Force were seen above Idlib, taking part in strikes against the positions of militants and terrorists.
